Description:

This introductory course considers the nature of knowledge (epistemology) and value (axiology). In the first half of the course we investigate the work of philosophers who have sought to understand the origin and certitude of knowledge. These philosophers include rationalists, empiricists, and alternative thinkers such as Berkeley and Kant. In the second half of the course we confront the complex questions of moral philosophy, which involves disciplined reflection on human freedom and responsibility.
